A: Your sound card may have to be put into "SB" (Sound Blaster) emulation through its software or a switch setting on the card. A: It is also possible that you specified incorrect values during sound configuration. Please recheck your sound card documentation for the proper values and try reconfiguring sound. The Shadowcaster CD game is only compatible with Microsoft DOS versions 5. 0 or higher. Q: Why does my game crash when I try to play Shadowcaster CD while I am logged into our LAN (local area network)?A: LAN software often tries to take over the same system resources that Shadowcaster CD uses. If you have strange problems with Shadowcaster CD while your LAN drivers are loaded, try booting from a clean boot disk that does not load your LAN drivers. Q: Why does my computer crash when I try to play Shadowcaster CD through Microsoft Windows (Windows NT, IBM OS/2, Desqview, etc. )?A: "Multi-tasking environments" -- Windows, Desqview, IBM OS/2, and so forth -- often conflict in their use of memory and other system resources with Shadowcaster CD. If you do run the game under a multi-tasker, do not swap to another application. We recommend that you log out of Windows (or any similar application) and play from the DOS prompt.
